Description: Communal Intimacy and the Violence of Politics by Steffen Bo Jensen, Karl Hapal, Vicente L. Rafael "Explores the war on drugs in the Philippines from below. Rather than seeking to understand the motivations of Dutertes drug war, we explore how it folded itself into communal and intimate spheres in one Manila neighborhood, Bagong Silang"-- FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Communal Intimacy and the Violence of Politics explores the notoriously brutal Philippine war on drugs from below. Steffen Bo Jensen and Karl Hapal examine how the war on drugs folded itself into communal and intimate spheres in one Manila neighborhood, Bagong Silang. Police killings have been regular occurrences since the birth of Bagong Silang. Communal Intimacy and the Violence of Politics shows that although the drug war was introduced from the outside, it fit into and perpetuated already existing gendered and generational structures. In Bagong Silang, the war on drugs implicated local structures of authority, including a justice system that had always been deeply integrated into communal relations. The ways in which the war on drugs transformed these intimate relations between the state and its citizens, and between neighbors, may turn out to be the most lasting impact of Dutertes infamously violent policies.
